id="dg_story"> <div class="dark-link perm_post"> 不是我们通常从时尚的角度去思考这些事情，而是从人类的趣味性，[<em>笑</em>]生活本身的趣味性来思考。</p><p>卡尔曼女士：我对很多事物都充满好奇，这种好奇心和渴望，以及对这一切的欣喜，常常让我自己都感到惊讶。因为到了某个阶段，你会说：“好了，够了。” 但显然，永远都不够。一切都充满惊喜。你永远不知道你会看到什么。而我可以将这种惊喜运用到我的作品中，比如，我不知道明天要画的画会包含什么，即使我知道任务是什么，但我不知道画中会是哪个穿着什么裙子的女人牵着哪条狗，或者街上有人拉小提琴，他们会如何出现在画面中。我认为，我情感的这种即时性在我的画作中得到了体现。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：我想稍微谈谈<em>《不确定性原理</em>》，这本书——继续谈谈您哲学、冥想的一面，（<em>笑</em>）也挺有意思的。很有意思的是——您的母亲再次出现，您母亲的世界地图。显然，旁听我们谈话的人不会看到那幅地图，但请谈谈地图上的内容以及它对您如此重要的原因。那幅地图对您来说是一个重要的情感纽带。</p><p>卡尔曼女士：我得说，对于那些感兴趣的听众，我已经多次提到过那张地图，它肯定能在网上找到。如果你搜索“萨拉·伯曼的美国地图”之类的关键词，或许就能找到。不过，在我进行第二年的创作——也就是我为<em>《纽约时报》</em>撰写的关于美国历史的专题报道《追求幸福》——那一年，也是在我反思之后——他们派我去了很多地方，我请很多人凭记忆画一张美国地图，就让他们坐下来画。正如我所说，美国是一个复杂的国家，由许多不同的区域组成，我认为大多数人都无法画得百分之百准确。</p><p>但我母亲坐下来，画了一个蛋形圆圈，把加拿大放在最上面。到目前为止，一切都还算正确，但接下来，她又在加拿大下面画了加利福尼亚和夏威夷。她把一切都颠倒了。她画了列宁、她家乡的村庄、特拉维夫和耶路撒冷，还有一些莫名其妙的地方。然后，她在圆圈中心写道：“抱歉，其余的未知。谢谢。” 我把这幅画的放大版挂在墙上，提醒自己——我总是说，“重要的不是画得对不对，而是画出来。” 这其中有很大的区别。如果你能自由地运用想象力，真正表达你的想法，你最终会画出一个与美国——或者任何其他东西——的正确版本截然不同的作品。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：现在这件事也颇具启发性，其意义之深远，是你之前无法预料的。我们所有人，无论彼此之间存在怎样的差异，似乎都在用不同的地图来定义我们所知的和重要的地点。这的确是当下一种真实存在的现象，我们头脑中的这些地图。</p><p>卡尔曼女士：我们脑海中的地图。当然，我也会想起9/11事件后我和里克·迈耶罗维茨为<em>《纽约客》</em>创作的“纽约斯坦”地图。人们会讨论“谁是部落？”“你属于谁？”“你和谁在一起？”“你想加入哪个部落？”“现在是否存在我们从未了解或认识的各种新部落？”这些问题。而真正重要的是，你要弄清楚你爱谁？你想和谁在一起？你会被迫问自己：我与谁有共鸣？我尊重谁？这真是一个大问题。我又害怕谁？</p><p>蒂佩特女士：如果你让美国人绘制自己的地图，以你母亲的地图为原型，然后说“创建你自己的地图”，那将是一项非常有趣的公民活动。</p><p>卡尔曼女士：这是个好主意。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：现在想想，那肯定很有意思。正如您所说， <em>《追求幸福</em>》这本书也是由此而来。您去了那么多地方，对吧？您会见了各种各样的公务员，还去了国会大厦、农场、弗农山庄和白宫。</p><p>卡尔曼女士：我参加了就职典礼。我见到了露丝·巴德·金斯伯格。我去了一个陆军基地。所有这些地方，作为一个普通人，我根本无法去，但<em>《纽约</em><em>时报》</em>却能派我去所有这些地方。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：那次经历给你带来了哪些意想不到的惊喜？它如何改变了你？</p><p>卡尔曼女士：它深刻地改变了我。我以前对美国历史知之甚少。我旅行得越多，读的书越多，结识的人越多，就越觉得美国的历史非同寻常——很明显，这个国家是由一群天才凭借某种奇迹般的偶然性建立起来的，而他们能够塑造一个如此独特的国家形象。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：应该说，这是 2010 年的事，或者说这本书是 2010 年出版的。</p><p>卡尔曼女士：实际上，我的确进行了旅行——我从2008年开始，奥巴马就职典礼那天去了蒙蒂塞洛，写了一篇关于林肯的文章，又写了一篇关于杰斐逊的文章，真正有机会——当然，这仍然只是肤浅的了解——去欣赏美国，欣赏它所有的复杂性，欣赏它所有可怕的方面，每个国家都有这些。而且，思考这里发生的种种美好事物也让我感到非常愉快。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：这是一场美好的庆典。我这么说，听起来可能像是在说一本摆在茶几上的画册，但它不是。它充满奇思妙想，别具一格。它展现了现实生活中游戏与有趣、快乐以及艰难、悲伤之间持续不断的互动。</p><p>还有一部分——我本来想提一下的，不过没关系，因为听我们谈话的人也不会手边有照片——你曾在肯塔基州坎贝尔堡的第101空降师服役。你对那些士兵和那个地方的描写——请你谈谈你所看到的。那非常打动我。</p><p>卡尔曼女士：当你真正接触到人时，你会发现所有概括性的观念都失效了。你会意识到，每个人都过着非常独特且复杂的生活，你不能简单地一概而论，比如“这个群体这样做，那个群体那样做”。情况极其复杂。每个人都是独立的个体。所以，那些你可能认为在哲学理念上或日常生活中与你毫无共同之处的人，你会发现彼此之间其实有很多共通之处。</p><p>说起来可能很显而易见，但我认为只有亲身经历才能真正体会。所以，你越是经常这样做，就越能减少那种傲慢或优越感，比如“哦，我知道正确的方法，而你显然不知道”，转而变成“显然，我们看待事物的方式不同，但我们完全可以就此展开对话，找到共同的人性”。这就是它以一种非常美好的方式教会我的。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：第101空降师当时正准备奔赴战场——我想是伊拉克和阿富汗——所以他们当时正在执行非常严肃的任务。但你刚才说他们每个人都非常了不起。他们每个人都让人心碎——他们身上的人性光辉。然后你还看到了一张樱桃派的照片。[<em>笑</em>] 你还记得这是在基地里拍的吗？</p><p>卡尔曼女士：（<em>笑</em>）当然。我一直在寻找好吃的派和画得好的派的画。正是这些时刻——当然，小时刻冲淡了大时刻的光芒。而且，它们真的很重要。所以，大家围坐在一起吃樱桃派，感觉如何？虽然味道不算惊艳，但有这样的时刻也挺好的。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：照片上看起来很美味。</p><p>卡尔曼女士：是啊，这张照片比……（<em>笑</em>）</p><p>蒂佩特女士：无法抗拒。我想你当时是这么说的：“一块樱桃派能给人带来莫大的慰藉。”[<em>笑</em>]</p><p>卡尔曼女士：是的。</p><p> [<em>音乐：“Riddle Me This”，演唱者：Rhian Sheehan</em> ]</p><p>蒂佩特女士：我是克丽斯塔·蒂佩特，这里是<em>《论存在》</em> 。今天，我邀请到了视觉故事讲述者玛伊拉·卡尔曼。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：我觉得林肯对你来说也很重要——亚伯拉罕·林肯。</p><p>卡尔曼女士：我喜欢林肯。[<em>笑</em>] 我爱林肯。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：（<em>笑</em>）那这是怎么发生的？你们是多年的恋人吗？</p><p>卡尔曼女士：[<em>笑</em>] 他不知道。我一个字都没跟他说过。事情是这样的——费城一家图书馆邀请我写一篇关于林肯的文章。于是我去他们的档案馆查阅资料。我有很多林肯的照片集。当然，他是标志性人物——第一位被拍照的总统，而且他是一位极其英俊、仁慈、风趣的人道主义者——一位诗人。我越了解他，就越觉得他很有幽默感，而且才华横溢。我想，我真的非常迷恋他，但他和玛丽·托德·林肯在一起让我有点恼火。我当时完全没意识到时间上的错位。我只是想，“我真应该和他在一起。” 谁不会爱上林肯呢？你只要花五分钟读读他的故事，或者看看他的照片，就很难不爱上这个人。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：我注意到你提到他的继母非常爱他，并且让他自由地做白日梦。我觉得你从中看到了自己的母亲，以及她让你自由做白日梦的方式。</p><p>卡尔曼女士：没错，他们之间确实有联系。历史书里也着重描写了她，说她确实是个非常特别的人。他不像其他男孩那样热衷于做家务，反而更喜欢读莎士比亚，这非常罕见。他只接受过一年的正规教育。所以，有人能因此而善待他、爱他，这至关重要。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：而且，我想我们都知道，他就是一个很好的例子——你说他很有幽默感。他是一个非常棒的人，但同时也是一个经历过巨大悲伤、与抑郁症作斗争的人。</p><p>卡尔曼女士：是的，杰斐逊患有严重的偏头痛，这通常是由压力和悲伤引起的；当然，也可能还有其他原因。我无法想象有谁，任何一个普通人，不会经历抑郁发作。所以很明显，他经历了人生的种种磨难，失去了孩子，还参加了战争——这样的例子不胜枚举。他怎么可能不抑郁呢？如果他没有抑郁，那他肯定有问题。而且，当然，他在内战结束后只活了四天，这对他本人、对国家、对历史来说都是极其悲惨的事实。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：这有点像回到您早上散步的话题。您在文章中提到，您特别擅长跟踪那些行动不便的老年人。</p><p>卡尔曼女士：是的，我真的努力模仿他们的走路方式。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：跟我说说那件事吧。</p><p>卡尔曼女士：我现在正和一位名叫约翰·海金博瑟姆的杰出编舞家共同创作一部芭蕾舞剧。他负责编舞，但很多时候，我非常在意这样一个事实——我负责视觉呈现，但我自己也身在其中，我想，这大概就是一位年长者参与芭蕾舞表演的特色吧。所以我们在空间中的移动方式对我来说非常有趣，我也意识到我们整天都在以我们自己的方式移动和舞蹈。这很有趣，因为尼采——如果我能引用尼采的话——说过，没有舞蹈的一天是虚度的一天，你很难想象这会出自像尼采这样一位疯子之口。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：不，而且很投入。[<em>笑</em>]</p><p>卡尔曼女士：而且他性格很热情，还留着我写过的那种浓密的大胡子。但我从来没——当我看到那句话的时候，我说：“这简直不可理喻。” 但事实是，我们真的整天都在不停地走动、跳舞。年纪越大，挑战就越大，也越危险。你可能会摔倒。我曾经在人行道上摔倒，摔断了胳膊，当时我就想：“怎么会这样？太荒谬了。” 所以，我真心同情所有人——就是这样。我真心同情所有人。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：您写道——我认为这些话很美，而且我非常确定这段话出自<em>《不确定性原理</em>》：“我们怎么都如此勇敢，一步一步地走下去？日复一日？我们怎么都如此乐观，如此小心翼翼地不让自己跌倒，却又真的跌倒了，然后爬起来说，好吧，为什么我对每个人都感到如此难过，又如此自豪？”</p><p>卡尔曼女士：问得好。为什么呢？（<em>笑</em>）</p><p>蒂佩特女士：您提到了衰老，我想问问您这方面的情况，因为我觉得您很早就做到了——或者说您一直坚持着——我认为我们大多在孩童时期就做到，然后随着年龄增长，很多人又会重新学习去做的一件事，那就是放慢脚步，环顾四周，欣赏生活，质疑任何匆忙行事的理由。但我感觉您一生都坚持着这一点，而不是在中年时期放弃，然后在年长之后又重新拾起，重新学习。</p><p>卡尔曼女士：这事怎么发生的，真是难以置信，但我确实经历了。我听别人这么说过。我经常听到这样的说法。不知怎的，我仍然保持着对世界的好奇心，以及对我们所处时代的珍贵和美好的感知。有时候我会漫无目的地游荡，什么也想不起来，但我从来没刻意让自己变成那样。我想，我就是这样的人吧。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：你认为这是否也源于——因为你的母亲，你才变得大胆或迅速地去做这件事，或者某种程度上，你的童年经历，或者也与你的性格有关？</p><p>卡尔曼女士：我无法将这些线索分开，因为每个人的性格都是与生俱来的，而命运则决定了这种性格能否发挥出来，取决于运气。所以我很幸运。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：但我确实觉得这是可以学会的，而且我认为你的作品——你的照片、你的书、你的文字——都是一种鼓励。[<em>笑</em>]</p><p>卡尔曼女士：没错，但后来我又会因为自己太鼓励别人而感到恼火，然后我会说：“等等。我也有情绪低落的时候。别那么乐观。情况并不好。”所以我就有点唱反调了。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：（<em>笑</em>）我知道你的意思。这样说听起来有点老套、浪漫又乐观，像是在鼓励别人。但事实并非如此。情况很复杂。</p><p>卡尔曼女士：没错。我不应该因为表现出乐观或鼓励的态度而感到尴尬或羞愧，因为说真的，我说“没关系，一切都好”是可以的。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：这或许不时髦，但也可能很有必要。[<em>笑</em>]</p><p>卡尔曼女士：嗯，没关系。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：这是一个相当庞大的问题，但我很想知道你会从哪里开始思考这个问题，你对“人性”这个问题的理解——在你人生的这个阶段，你对这个问题的理解是如何演变的。</p><p>卡尔曼女士：我开玩笑说自己什么都不知道，但我觉得随着年龄增长，人们往往会更坦诚地说：“我真的什么都不知道。” 当然，这并不完全属实，但我最终能想到的只有一点：你爱谁？你爱做什么？我认为，最终我们都会感到茫然，并努力在人生中，在人际关系和工作中找到最真实的归属感。除此之外，我不知道还有什么其他意义。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：您之前说过，您的作品主题一直是“人们爱上的那些平凡的、日常的事物”。这和我的想法非常契合。我很好奇——我们现在是下午早些时候，您今天有没有爱上什么呢？</p><p>卡尔曼女士：哦，是的。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：（<em>笑</em>）告诉我们，你爱上了什么？</p><p>卡尔曼女士：（<em>笑</em>）太多事情了。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：好的，开始吧。</p><p>卡尔曼女士：我今天一整天都在画画，为一本关于蛋糕的书——一本食谱——创作插图。我画了一些关于蛋糕的画作、短篇故事和回忆。其中有一页是关于蛋白酥皮的。食谱的作者写了关于蛋白酥皮的内容。我找到了一张很棒的照片，照片上是一张东欧风格的床，床上铺着一张巨大的被子，被子边缘是巨大的扇形花边，蓬松洁白，看起来就像一个蛋白酥皮。所以我打算画一张那张床的插图，作为蛋白酥皮那一页的配图。我真是太喜欢它了。</p><p>今天<em>《泰晤士报》</em>上刊登了一张舞者的照片，我剪下了很多跳舞的人的照片，我知道我以后也会把它们画下来。我相信当我离开这里，走到市中心——我要走回家，到第十二街——的时候，会有很多很多东西让我着迷，让我非常开心。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：（<em>笑</em>）这真是太愉快了。我注意到您说过，在你们家，你们不说“再见”，而是说“再见”。这是为什么呢？</p><p>卡尔曼女士：（<em>笑</em>）我不知道，因为“So long”听起来比“Goodbye”悲伤得多，所以我也不知道为什么。这是我母亲开始用的，我不敢改。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：（<em>笑</em>）又是你母亲。我们以你母亲开始，也以你母亲结束。</p><p>卡尔曼女士：一切都和她有关。萨拉说了声“再见”，所以我就这么做了。</p><p>蒂佩特女士：好了，那我要跟大家说“再见”了，非常感谢。这段时间真是太愉快了。</p><p>卡尔曼女士：谢谢。我也很荣幸。谢谢你，克丽斯塔。</p><p>
